Huckabee Proved Right: Lots of Stupid Iowans
Posted on January 3, 2008
So Huckabee wins. I asked the question when Huckabee did his Clintonesque move of pulling negative ads while getting them played for free, “does he think Iowans are stupid enough to fall for it?” Obviously plenty of them were. Maybe they went with the safe bet of knowing he was solid on issues like abortion. After all, who knows where Mitt really stands? Anyway…now I’m waiting up to see where my man Fred ends up standing. I think he did well, but will find out soon. FOX is completely ignoring how well he has done. They skip over him to purr about McLame who is in fourth, slightly behind Fred at the moment. Allahpundit asks the question…what about Fred? He is either gonna get third or fourth, and either way its gonna be close. But either way he will stay in. But now, more than ever, he has gotta sell it.
I’m not worried about Huckabee though. Just because enough Iowans don’t listen to the wisdom of Rush Limbaugh…most Americans do.
Oh, but for the post Caucus spin…Iowa doesn’t really matter anyway. Three out of the last four times they’ve picked a loser. The Anchoress is on the same page:
It’s baloney. It’s hype. Iowa doesn’t mean anything, and I’m not convinced it ever has, but it’s been a very long (too long) election season and we’ve got 11 months to go, so Iowa has been pimped and played up as the be-all-and-end all – the staggeringly important end to the beginning of election ‘08.
But previous presidents have lost in Iowa, and previous Iowa winners have seen the national ticket elude them, so let’s not overthink Iowa or lose perspective. Iowa is fun-n-games for political junkies and an amusing diversion in the months when fields lie resting – but I am not convinced it “means†much at all.
Oh and for all the hype FOX is giving for McCain momentum in NH. New Hampshire is meaningless too.

Huckabee and Obama proves how utterly stupid Iowans are. Oh well, thanks for freeing up my time.
That’s it for me, I’m not spending another moment of my time watching people think voting for a muslin is worth their vote and America’s future or and another Jimmy Carter, which all Huckabee is is worth wasting ones time on.
Ted Turner is right, American’s are the stupiest people in the world.
While it’s true that Iowa doesn’t mean a whole lot in the final outcome, I think the winner (in this case Huck) sucks support from more deserving candidates…like Fred. That can mean the difference between the end of the road and continuing on. Thankfully, Fred showed just well enough last night to keep going.
Time to dig into the wallet again.
Eric Fred is 125-1 to win the White House sogo for it !!

It’s not the Iowans who are stupid – it’s you all. The evangelicals voted for one of their own – nothing stupid about that. You created them, you own them.
Twice as many Democrats showed up because we don’t have a bunch of losers running for President.
You all must be ashamed of your choices. Robot Romney, Sleepy Fred, Crooked Rudy, Crazy Ron Paul, Preacher Mike and ancient McCain. Preacher Mike is the closest you’ve got to a ‘dynamic’ candidate, and he can’t hole a candle to any one of our top four.
Bush/Cheney Corruption, Inc. has destroyed Conservatism and Republicanism for he next generation and you’re just going to have to live with it.
Enjoy what you have wrought, folks.
Iowans are stupid to pick Huckabee. It’s that simple. They have been wrong before and they are wrong again.
—- I asked the question when Huckabee did his Clintonesque move of pulling negative ads while getting them played for free, —— Could you give a pointer to where BC, was every foolish enough to pull such a stupid, transparent stunt? I’m no Bill clinton fan, nor hillary, both far too mainstream conservative for me, but I don’t recall Bill every being that politically stupid. If you have a cite, I’d be willing to read it and have my mind changed.
Mike Huckabee, according to his own words, is the “Christian Candidate for President”. That is all it will take to be nominated by the Republican Party for president in 2008.
That is the party they have built, that is the party they have, it is the party that Republicans will remain for the forseeable future.
Jeanie,
At least think before you post. Muslin is a fabric. I assume you meant Muslim. There is no Muslim running, as far as I know.
I guess if you are just copying talking points, you never learn how to think. Or spell.
